A new experimental threshold (Te) for magnitude-squared coherence (MSC) analysis improves cardiovascular variability coupling assessment. This method accounts for analysis parameters, offering more reliable significance testing than traditional thresholds.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular physiology
  • Time series analysis
  • Biomedical signal processing

Background:

  • Assessing coupling significance in cardiovascular variability commonly uses a fixed magnitude-squared coherence (MSC) threshold.
  • The conventional MSC threshold of 0.5 overlooks parameter dependencies in estimates.
  • Existing theoretical thresholds are limited to specific estimators, like weighted covariance (WC).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive an experimental threshold (Te) for zero coherence in MSC analysis.
  • To evaluate the impact of analysis parameters on MSC estimates.
  • To propose a more dependable method for assessing cardiovascular variability coupling.

Main Methods:

  • Derived an experimental threshold (Te) using statistical tests on uncoupled time series.

  • Estimated MSC using weighted covariance (WC) and autoregressive (AR) methods.
  • Varied spectral bandwidth (B), model order (M), and time series length (L) to assess parameter influence.

    • Main Results:

    • Experimental threshold (Te) varied with analysis parameters: decreasing with increased bandwidth (B) and length (L), and decreased model order (M).
    • For typical settings (B=0.025 Hz, M=8, L=300 s), Te values were 0.24 (WC) and 0.17 (AR).
    • The derived Te provided more dependable zero-level definitions for MSC compared to theoretical thresholds (Tt).

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed method for deriving an experimental threshold (Te) accounts for parameter-dependent confidence in spectral estimates.
    • This approach allows for more robust rejection of the uncoupling hypothesis in cardiovascular variability analysis.
    • The broad applicability suggests adoption for significance testing of coupling in cardiovascular variability series.
